Ingredients:

3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1-1/2 cups hot water

3 slightly beaten egg yoks 2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Directions:
In a saucepan, mix 1-1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch, flour, salt. Gradually add hot water stirring constantly. Cook and stir over high heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat.

Stir small amount hot mixture into egg yolks then return to hot mixture. Bring to boiling and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add butter and lemon peel. Slowly add lemon juice, mixing well. Pour into pastry shell.

Prepare the meringue: Beat the egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar. In a glass or stainless steel bowl. Beat until soft peaks form. (tips of peaks curl over slightly when beaters are removed).

Gradually add in the sugar to the beaten egg whites. Beat until stiff and glossy peaks form (peaks stand straight when beaters are removed) and all sugar is dissolved.

Carefully spread the meringue over the hot cooked filling. Seal the meringue to edge of pastry all the way around. This helps prevent the meringue from shrinking.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool before cutting.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
For a creamier filling, cook and stir first 5 ingredients 8 minutes over low heart after mixture comes to boiling . Blend in egg yolks as above; cook 4 minutes after mixture boils.

Before cutting a meringue-topped pie, dip knife in water - no need to dry.
